About ZefSci
ZefSci provides dedicated multivendor service for LCMS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) equipment and instrumentation. Their expertise extends across many analytical instruments used by laboratories in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies to diversified food and environmental testing.
Their service portfolio is just as comprehensive, spanning repair and service contracts, preventive maintenance, refurbishment, qualifications and adaptable time-and-material solutions. But their unwavering commitment to ensuring responsive, expert service sets them apart, underlining their dedication to delivering unparalleled value to clients.
With an established worldwide customer base, ZefSci was ready for a digital expansion that would drive its leads and improve customer communication.
Having a solid brand identity and a team of experts, ZefSci had the foundation for success. However, they realized the need to update their marketing approach for the digital age, where having a robust online presence was vital.
A solid digital presence involved a partner who could craft a digital strategy that positioned them as leaders in their industry. This went beyond just being recognized. ZefSci aimed to establish themselves as trusted LCMS service authorities that people would turn to for guidance. It was a shift towards becoming more than just a service provider – they wanted to be a valuable resource for industry insights.
Now they just need a partner with expertise who could help strategize and execute.
